Most likely written by an advisor of Nero it recounts the adventures of Encolpius and his companions as they travel around Italy encountering courtesans priestesses con men brothel - keepers pompous professors and above all Trimalchio the nouveau riche millionaire whose debauched feasting and pretentious vulgarity make him one of the great comic characters in literature.
